You know how I always call the Mets dysfunctional? … Yep.
The top of the eighth inning of Wednesday’s game between the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers brought an absolutely hilarious scene. With the Mets facing a 9-3 deficit, relief pitcher Jorge López was oddly ejected from the contest, and at mid-count at that, by third base umpire Ramon De Jesus.

While exiting the field, López then began letting all of his frustrations out, starting with him throwing his glove into the crowd. And to make it even more comical, it was a Dodgers x Yankees fan group that caught the glove, it wasn’t even a Mets fan! (LMAO)
A bizarre ejection, a bizarre (player) reaction to the ejection, and the commentary on from the SNY Mets crew.

After the game, López continued to let his frustrations flow, slamming the Mets as “the worst team in probably the whole f**king MLB” to the press.
Hahahahahahaha!
“I think I’ve been on the worst team in probably the whole f–king MLB.”

And to make this situation even more hilarious, the Mets responded by CANCELLING him. (I’m literally rolling on the floor laughing, okay, not literally … but you get my point)
The Mets will DFA Jorge Lopez , per source .

How can one franchise be so dysfunctional? … Lord have mercy.
